quote:
You are right about Romeras in E, Alegrias in A and Caracoles in C. The following is with respect to accompanying the cante - guitar solos have different conventions (and innovation seems to be more fluid - vocal range constraints are not a factor): In Cadiz, alegrias are almost always played in C; this is true in the early recordings of Aurelio (from the 20s, I think), through the classic recordings of Pericon, Manolo Vargas, etc., and is true today. I've heard Alegrias in A on some older recordings (e.g.Nin~o Gloria, La Nin~a de los Peines; neither from Cadiz). I believe that alegrias in E became popular with the rise of tablaos, as it provides certain possibilities for dance accompaniment - a bigger sound, as all strings are played (unlike A) and an easy switch to minor for the silencio (unlike C).
